Developmental Milestones That Swimming Teaches Children
-
Healthy Living
Children who are active have a better chance of being active adults. You want to instill healthy, life-long habits in your kids, and exercising and staying healthy is one of the most important things you can teach them. They'll soon grow to love the time spent at the pool if they see this as a fun activity. Never force your kids to do anything. For example, you want them to see the fun aspects of working out and swimming. So, you might need to make it a game for them. They will never enjoy it if they have to wake up at 7 a.m to go to swim team practice. Unless you're determined to have an Olympic swimmer, there is no reason why they should dedicate their lives to the pool. Instead, use swimming as a tool to teach them a fun form of exercise that they can enjoy throughout their lives.
-
Determination and Focus
If you want to become a good swimmer, it takes determination and focus. Kids will soon learn that they can't doggy paddle through the pool if they want to get better. Thus, they need to quickly learn strokes, kicks, and dives if they wish to improve. Practice will only make them better swimmers, and it will teach them how to approach ideas with focus.
-
Dedication
One needs the dedication to stick to a routine. Swimming will help your kids realize how important it is to dedicate time and energy to working out and swimming in general. If they constantly give up, then they'll never get anywhere. Swimming will teach them that it is not always a bad thing to go to the pool several times a week. You want your kids to learn how great it is to throw yourself into a passion. If they do not love swimming, then do not force them. However, dedication to any particulate aspect in life, like swimming, will help them form goals and stick to them in the future.
-
Reaching Goals
You should have your children set some goals with their swimming. This can mean anything from winning the summer meet or doing fifty meters of a perfect backstroke. This will help them combine all of the aforementioned skills into one final package. A goal will give practice for larger goals in life, such as applying to college. Plus, it will show them hard work and dedication pay off once they accomplish it. Who knows, maybe your child will be a collegiate swimmer someday??
